Thats how crazy Netflix is thats the distribution model that theyve set up.
Oh, no, I would say its kind of the opposite, Snyder told io9.
What I was implying was, well, there are two things.
One is I was just going by the numbers that I was given by Netflix.
If now were close to 100 million viewers, 100 million views times two is 200 million views … Snyder also clarified that his Netflix math was referring only to Barbies theatrical numbers.
Numbers, hes certain, have since skyrocketed even further with streaming, rewatches, cable, and more.
Who knows what [Barbies] done on Max and all that, he said.
The cultural significance of Barbie was happening when it was in the theaters, Snyder said.
Thats when we all took a bite of the Barbie apple, and happily.
Despite what the headlines may imply, Zack Snyder doesnt think Rebel Moon had a bigger impact than Barbie.
It hits Netflix Friday.
